This thread surely isn't serious, is it? As a rally spectator I think its brilliant to see the cars/drivers putting on a little show for the rally fans on the road sections. Yeah, absolutely reckless behavior isn't appropriate, but a little slide for some guys at the side of the road? That's awesome!
This sort of thing has been happening since stage rallying began: the only difference now is that everyone has a camera phone to record the antics and the internet has enabled it be shared with the world."If in doubt... flat out!"

Watch it again and listen carefully to the engine - Ogier slows down much earlier for sure (maybe because he had a big slide and decided to back off), Tanak accelerates out of the corner initially but you can hear the engine on the overrun as he passes the camera, it wouldn't sound like that if he was still accelerating.
I wasn't talking about faster average speed, just the speed and commitment while sliding through the corner - Tanak does accelerate exiting the corner and is going faster past the camera at the end.
Of course if you're trying to say one is more dangerous than the other, Ogier is drifting past a van full of people and Tanak has a clear road as far as we can tell
In general though I think its what we call 'a storm in a teacup' on this side of the world... why am I even still replying?Last edited by GravelBen; 1st February 2018 at 10:59.

I respect and understand your point of view but my view on that is that just because something has 'always' been the case, doesn't mean it should continue to be so. And that applies to many things in life. The internet and camera phones you mention make this kind of behaviour all the more problematic. I see it as unnecessary baggage for the sport in 2018.

No in Antti eyes everybody can be WDC but not Tanak because he has some personal anger to him. For him Tanak slides are much more worser and dangerous, he already measures the time on the videos. Doesnt matter that Ogier slides while other car is driving opposite direction. Only tanak is bad...
I think he allready cut out only Tanak form video and sent it to FIA.
I think you also must speed up this video before you send it out, looks even more dangerous.
